Revealing the wood

Recommended Posts

I'm somewhat new to woodworking and I'm planning on doing some live edge tables.  My issue is I don't have enough experience reading wood grain so that I'm able to predict what kind of color will come out of a slab once it's finished.  As I'm meandering through the local mill is there anything acceptable I can do to the slabs that will reveal their finished coloring?  I know you can wet a slab and bring out it's color but I hardly think you should do that to one that's already been dried.  Or maybe brush on a little sanding sealer...but that'd probably be frowned upon.

 

Any suggestions?
